Here you go...https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/online-store/Wrangler-JL-c34349008

There's a 20% off sale going right now so get your order in tonight to take advantage. Regular price isn't a dealbreaker either way.

Overall, I like them. Like I said earlier, they are not as polished as factory but are finished well. There is one spot on the bottom where the plastic was injected but that's where a key ring goes if you choose to use one. Barely noticable though and is being extra nitpicky. I think they will be quite water resistant compared to the factory unit.

A couple things for the swap. I liked the button feel for the lock/unlock much better without the little triangle piece. I also found the transponders in both factory cases were a pain to get out. I ended up cutting open the exposed side to get it to come out easier. If I ever go back, it won't affect anything.

The technique they use in the video for putting the case halves together wasn't working for me. I was about to uppercut an infant, so I switched gears and figured something else out. I basically sat the battery on the board and lined up the other half to where just the bottom part was together and then I used a pick tool to reach in from the top and push the battery into place, so it would close completely, without force. Be careful. Same should be said about the screws. I had no problems, but I could see people stripping out the plastic.

They fit in the slot in the cupholders but don't seat if you have a metal key ring. That's why jeep put their key ring slot on the corner. I'm cool with not having anything on mine, but my wife insists on having crap hanging from hers. For hers, I'm just going to make a quick, sealed paracord ring for it so she can have her crap and it won't tear up the slot for it in the jeep.

Not to be rude, but isn’t seeing it on this page enough? Don’t you already know about it?

I'm sending them a PM right now actually, so I will let everyone know what I find out... Stay tuned.

Could someone post a pic of the guts of the JT fob. Thanks in advance

2 things I learned about the Jeep key fob...

1. It's possibly designed to look like an old WW2 Jerrycan
2. This is actually one of those little easter eggs you're not aware of, but apparently the key fob is designed to fit perfectly in the slot between the cup holders! I thought it was for my iPhone

Received my AJT foib yesterday and made the swap. Very straight forward, with a couple tries to get the battery in their properly. Definitely watch the video instructions to see how to get it on.

Color matched to my firecracker JT :D. Initial impressions, it feels less quality, but I don’t think it is. Its just lighter than the stock FOB, which gives the impression of less quality to me. But, there is no flex to the material and it feels very sturdy. For the price, I would 100% buy again.

Traded in my 2014 JKU Rubicon for a Gladiator Rubicon. The size of the FOB's did surprise me, but I can live with it. What I found very weird was the gap on the battery cover. Have a look at my photo. Is that gap supposed to be there? Both my FOB's are like this. The dealer told me its to pop the cover off, but I don't buy it. They look put together incorrectly. I dont see how they can seal properly with the gap being there.

Just picked up my Gladiator today and same issue. Seems squirrelly to me. Other keys at the dealership have this issue

I have previously used ajt for my tacoma, and recommend them from a quality standpoint. I've just ordered two replacements as the OEM fobs are f'ing massive.

I would like to see a billet aluminum 6061 key fob kinda industrial with screws - I wonder if anyone makes one. The red AJT looks pretty good too though and I might bite.
